Fannie's Killer Fried Egg

A North Side staple that, when it arrives, sprawls across the plate, like an Indian dosa or a beached whale. The bread is smart, house-baked, slightly browned sourdough, layered inside with eggs, blackened applewood smoked bacon, tiny tomatoes, sprigs of thyme and crumbles of Gorgonzola. A great combination of creamy, charred, meaty, salty and satisfying. $9.25, , 5707 N. Clark St., 773-561-1600— Christopher Borrelli
